Congratulations to Kathy Garske, a 2nd-grade teacher at Tomorrow River School District - Amherst Elementary School, Jayme Shirek, a 2nd-grade teacher at Plover-Whiting School, and Kelly Hebbe, a 3rd-grade teacher at Pacelli Catholic Schools - St. Stephen's, on receiving the Grow Your Library award!



The Grow Your Library Fund was developed as an opportunity for Learn for Life volunteers to nominate and recognize a 2nd or 3rd-grade teacher in Portage County who's done an outstanding job supporting volunteers and students in the Learn for Life program. Recipients of the award receive $250 to be used for purchasing books to supplement their classroom libraries, allowing greater access to a variety of books for all students. πŸ“—



Marten Machining and Crow Family Dental generously donated to the Grow Your Library Fund during the 2025-2026 school year, allowing the Learn for Life program to award teachers the opportunity to grow their library!
